How to prune osmanthus? Osmanthus fragrans is a very common flower in life, with strong fragrance, so it is very popular with everyone. Planting osmanthus requires regular pruning, because reasonable pruning is beneficial to its growth and development. So how to prune osmanthus?

Osmanthus fragrans 1 1 How to prune and cut off dense branches?

Osmanthus fragrans branches quickly, usually with big branches and small branches, which are relatively dense. When pruning, cut off the dense branches on the strong branches, some of which are very fleshy and small.

It has no other functions except absorbing nutrition. When pruning, it should be removed mercilessly to reduce the loss of nutrients, so that the branches are not too dense, which is conducive to ventilation and light transmission.

2. Cut off the overlapping shoots.

Pruning osmanthus trees requires pruning the main branches. A main branch will grow shoots in different periods. This also means that new shoots can't be put forward and shaped as lateral branches, but will affect the morphology of plants and compete with lateral branches for nutrients. Therefore, the new branches and overlapping branches on the trunk should be subtracted in time as soon as they appear.

3. Cut off the internal branch.

Osmanthus fragrans has many branches, which not only absorb nutrients, but also affect the light transmission and ventilation of the plant because of its dense growth, so it should be trimmed appropriately according to the modeling needs;

In addition, if there are internal transverse branches, it is recommended to remove them all. The internal transverse branches growing in plants are staggered, which has great influence on the growth and later flowering of plants. It is best to remove them all.

4, cut off the drilling branch

Endovascular branches also grow in plants, which are almost the same as transverse branches, but not exactly the same. Some intraosseous branches have a certain thoroughfare, which can increase the roundness of plants. Therefore, it is necessary to trim the endosteal branches properly instead of completely removing them, leaving some robust branches that can be modeled.

5. Cut off parallel branches

The parallel branches of osmanthus fragrans don't refer to a balanced tree, but two parallel branches with similar positions on a branch. Only one branch with the same shape is enough, and the other branch or branch can be directly cut off.

In this way, the whole plant will have a reasonable density, the branches will be straightened, and the saved nutrients can be supplied to other branches for better growth.

Step 6 trim the top

Pruning the top of osmanthus fragrans mainly controls the height of the plant. In addition, cut off the short-spaced branches sprouting at the top. When the branches with small spacing at the top grow up, they cover the whole plant like a big umbrella, which affects the light of the plant and is not conducive to flowering.

The height of plants can be controlled, which can improve the ornamental value and avoid the possibility of virtual growth.

Osmanthus fragrans is potted. Cultivation method

1, soil

Osmanthus fragrans likes slightly acidic soil, and the soil must be fertile and breathable. In addition, it has good drainage. It can be mixed with mountain soil, humus soil and garden soil, and can also be mixed with garden soil, manure and river sand in the same proportion. The requirements for soil are very important, and the soil is not up to standard. It is impossible to prune osmanthus as mentioned above.

2. Temperature

The optimum temperature for the growth of osmanthus fragrans is 25℃ ~ 28℃. When the temperature exceeds 30℃ in summer, it is not suitable for its growth and gradually enters the dormant period. The temperature in winter should not be lower than -6℃, otherwise the plants will be frozen, and spring and autumn are more suitable for the growth of osmanthus fragrans.

Step 3 apply fertilizer

Osmanthus fragrans is a fertilizer-loving plant. When planting, a large amount of base fertilizer should be put in, and fertilization should be carried out frequently during the breeding process.

During the vigorous growth period in spring and autumn, fertilization is conducted once every 7 ~ 10 days, mainly with dilute decomposed liquid fertilizer. In addition, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should be added to promote the growth of branches and leaves. Dry fertilizer should be applied before and after the flowering season.

Step 4 change the pot

Potted osmanthus needs to be changed once a year, usually during the Spring Festival. Change the soil when changing pots. The new soil is loose and breathable, with better nutrition; When changing pots, look at the roots of osmanthus fragrans, trim them properly, and remove too dense roots and old roots.

Matters needing attention in cultivation of osmanthus fragrans

1, soil pH value

Do not cultivate osmanthus trees in alkaline soil. If the soil is alkaline, the leaves of osmanthus trees will turn yellow and the whole osmanthus trees will die seriously. When planting osmanthus trees, the PH value of the soil must be kept between 5.5 and 6.5.

water

Water osmanthus trees thoroughly every time. Don't wet half, and the lower part is still dry, so that the root system can't absorb enough water, which will affect the growth of plants. The most obvious performance is that the leaves of osmanthus trees wither and fall off.

Every time you water it, water it thoroughly, so that water can flow from the bottom of the basin. Also pay attention to regularly check the drainage of osmanthus trees. If there is water, it is easy to rot the roots.

3. Temperature control

Osmanthus fragrans can tolerate drought. When cultivated indoors, the indoor temperature should not be too high in winter, generally at 2℃ ~ 4℃. Because winter is the dormant period of osmanthus trees, if the room temperature is high, it will germinate in advance and consume nutrients, but the plants will not grow in time, so we should pay attention to controlling the temperature in winter.

How to Prune Osmanthus fragrans 2 Pruning Time of Osmanthus fragrans

Reasonable pruning of osmanthus fragrans is beneficial to the growth and development of plants, which can make osmanthus fragrans trees grow more beautifully, mainly in seedling stage or vigorous growth, and can also be pruned in winter dormancy, generally in1~ February every year.

Method for pruning osmanthus fragrans

1, shortcut

If the pruning method of osmanthus fragrans is relatively simple, it is best to cut it short in seedling stage or growth stage. When plants grow to 80 cm in height at seedling stage, the top branches should be cut short.

In the growth period, the main thing is to cut short the thick perennial branches, and then cut off the excessively long branches, excessively dense disorderly branches, dead branches and rotten branches in time to ensure the concentration of nutrients.

2. Shrinkage and shearing

Truncation pruning is mainly to prune thick branches from top to bottom, change the extension direction of branches, and then adjust the direction of other branches. Heavy pruning is carried out on the strong branches and light pruning is carried out on the weak branches. Generally, one third of the branches are cut off to ensure the balanced growth of the plants.

3. Comb scissors

Comb cutting mainly starts from the base of the branches, and all the densely growing branches are cut off, and then the wound is coated with wax, sealed with plastic film, and then other branches are combed in time, and the branches that grow too vigorously should also be appropriately cut short to promote the growth and development of plants.

Can Osmanthus fragrans be planted by cutting?

1, yes

Osmanthus fragrans can be planted by cutting propagation. When cutting and propagating osmanthus fragrans, it is best to choose a suitable time in March-April every spring, because the temperature and humidity at this time are suitable for plant growth, which can also improve the cutting success rate of osmanthus fragrans and make plants sprout and take root more easily.

pollard

When cutting propagation of osmanthus fragrans, it is necessary to cut a branch from the mother plant with sharp scissors. You can choose sweet-scented osmanthus branches that grow well, are healthy and disease-free, and the branches are about 5- 10 cm long. Then cut off the leaves on the branches of osmanthus fragrans, leaving only 2-3 leaves on them to avoid the loss of redundant nutrients.

3. Soil conditions

Planting osmanthus fragrans needs to provide soil suitable for its growth. Soil mixed with peat soil, humus soil and pastoral soil can be used as cultivation substrate. It is also necessary to apply decomposed cake fertilizer to the soil to improve soil fertility. We should also apply ferrous sulfate to the soil to promote the vigorous growth of osmanthus fragrans.

4. Cutting method

When cutting and propagating osmanthus fragrans, it is necessary to insert plant branches into the soil and water it once to keep the soil moist and help osmanthus fragrans adapt to the environment quickly. Osmanthus fragrans should also take shading measures to avoid poor plant growth. After a period of time, osmanthus can take root and sprout.
